Question

what is correct?

Answer 1

The correct response is: "A lengthy list of rights were already protected by the Constitution."

This statement reflects the argument that the Constitution itself includes several provisions that protect individual rights, such as the limitations on government power found in the structure of the document and in the first few amendments (the Bill of Rights), even though the Bill of Rights was added later. The idea is that if the Constitution already limits the powers of the national government, then an additional bill of rights may not be necessary.
